Fruit2.1 is at the same level of Fritz8 bilbao Most customers probably do not have Fritz8 bilbao and Fruit2.1 is probably slightly better than Fritz8. Fruit2.2 is 50-100 elo better than Fruit2.1 so it make sense to think that Fruit2.2 is 100 elo better than Fritz8 Fritz9 is near the level of Fruit2.2 based on CEGT results so I see nothing wrong with the claim. >> >> >>Martin. >> >> >>http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=2676 > >Not surprising.
